Is the cable compatible with all existing sound tracks?
New User U
on Feb 8, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The cable will work with any of the latest surround sound scenarios. That is more dependent on your receiver's capabilities. This cable is directional. In my setup the sound comes devices connected to the receiver, but not from the TV back to the receiver. Sound for TV Apps must go through the TV speakers. I have all those same Apps on my blu-ray & Apple TV, and they perform better set up that way.

Monoprice 4K SlimRun AV High Speed HDMI Cable 75ft - AOC 18Gbps Metal Black

Monoprice 4K Certified Premium High Speed HDMI Cable 3ft - 18Gbps Black

Monoprice Keystone Jack HDMI Female to Female Coupler Adapter, White
BEST ANSWER: Here's what I tried first:
Xbox One X --> Ultra Slim Certified Premium HDMI Cable (24186) --> Yamaha 4K Receiver --> Ultra Slim Certified Premium HDMI Cable (24186) --> HDMI Keystone Jack (6582) --> Slim Run HDR High Speed Fiber Optic HDMI Cable (21567) --> HDMI Keystone Jack (6582) --> Ultra Slim Certified Premium HDMI Cable (24186) --> LG OLED 4K HDR TV
However, no TV, Receiver or Xbox setting I tried would allow the tv to broadcast the 4k HDR from the Xbox, not even removing the Yamaha receiver from the run. Yet, when I removed both Keystone Jacks and ran the Slim Run HDR High Speed Fiber Optic HDMI Cable (21567) direct from the Yamaha Receiver to the LG OLED TV, the broadcast would then be in 4K HDR.
So, in my setup, these keystone jacks would not allow the pass through of 4K and HDR. Yet, I did not exhaust all setup scenarios and am by no means a professional. What I would definitely recommend first and foremost from experience, is to test everything possible while it's sitting on your floor and before running any cables through walls and hanging tvs, etc.

I would recommend using a HDbaseT kit and throw the video signal from the source over Ethernet to the far end. It is a better way of running HDMI long distances, it also gives you some future proofing where if the hdmi std changes you just have to change the kit out rather then running a new cable.

I think it depends on which end of the cable one extends. Active HDMI cables are powered by the sink (display, projector, etc.) so if the extension is at the source it should be okay. Would LOVE to have a definitive answer on this.

It might, but i doubt it. The actual plug ends are almost 3/4 in size. Pulling an object like that, that doesn't bend thru a conduit that most likely has turns in it, is a good way to damage wire.
I never run anything smaller than 1 inch conduit, for my A/V stuff
It is always a good idea to run conduit, just in case something goes wrong with cable.
and never run it to junction boxes, use low voltage plaster rings.

BEST ANSWER: Hi there! Both CMP and VW-1 are fire ratings. Different applications require different ratings. CMP is plenum rated communications cable. The VW-1 fire test also called the Vertical Wire test, tests a materials ability to resist fire along a vertically suspended wire, just like it would appear in your walls. This test is the most widely used North American fire test and fire safety professionals will check first thing to see if your wires have passed the VW-1 test. Check with your local municipal building code before running a cable in the wall.

I think I would go with the CMP as it is in the NEC for in-wall installation. Again, these are building codes for the US.
CL-2 meets NEC/Building code. Even though VW-1 passed many of the same tests, it is not NEC/Building code compliant.

CMP: This is a cable jacket fire resistance rating defined in Article 800 of the National Electric Code. It stands for "Communications Multipurpose Cable, Plenum", which indicates that the cable is suitable for installation in a plenum space. Because air travels throughout a building via plenum spaces, it is critical that cables that are installed in such spaces not give off toxic smoke when they burn. Thus, plenum-rated cables are designed using materials that burn more cleanly and self-extinguish more easily. As the flammability requirements for Type CMP cables are stricter than Type CM and CMR cables, Type CMP cables can be used as a substitute in any area where CM and CMR would be required. Cables that are labeled "Type CMP" must pass a standardized flammability test and be certified by an accredited laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Plenum: These cables are to be used in the "plenum" area of a building, which is within a raised flooring area (such as air ducts) or wherever air circulates through the building. In order for a cable to obtain a "plenum" rating, the cable must have a fire-retardant jacket made out of a non-flammable material. Plenum cables will not emit toxic smoke if exposed to fire, and will not reignite themselves after self-extinguishing. You will typically find plenum ratings used in network, security, fire alarm and coax video cables. Also see: "CMP"
VW-1: The VW-1 rating written on a cable specifies the flammability of the outer jacket. It is a standardized test to measure how the outer jacket responds when exposed to a flame in a vertical orientation hence the abbreviation VW (vertical wire). VW-1 will be found on the jacket of the cable if it has a VW-1 rating. The term VW-1 applies to any cable going in a wall vertically.

The simple answer: if you're installing the cable in a single-family home, you can use cables with any of these ratings. The only exception would be if you're running the cable down a section of wall that has a return air vent for your heating/air conditioning system; in this case, you would need CMP rated cable for the reason stated below.
For installers working in commercial structures and multi-family residence buildings, it's far more important to choose a fire rating that is suitable, safe, and legal per local building code. CL2 (short for "Class 2") indicates a general-purpose cable that's OK for walls, ceilings and crawl spaces, but cannot be used in "plenum" space - any space that carries conditioned air to/from the occupied parts of the building - because the wire jacket (the rubberized covering) could produce toxic fumes in case of a fire. (There is a variation called CL2P that can be used in plenum, but I haven't seen this at Monoprice.) CMP ("Communications Multipurpose, Plenum") indicates a cable that can be used in plenum spaces and just about anywhere else in a building, because it does not produce toxic fumes when burned.
VW-1 isn't a rating like the others; instead, it's a statement that the outer jacket material has passed a test for low flammability when installing vertically in a wall. Basically, it means that if a fire starts near the bottom of a vertical run of this cable, it won't spread up the cable jacket itself. This is a building code requirement in many localities, especially for multi-story structures.

Does this cable support ARC.? It appears to be a directional cable.

BEST ANSWER: Hi User,
This cable will support ARC under certain environments. Because of the current ARC landscape there many compatibility issues that come up. That said, we are not able to guarantee ARC compatibility on all systems.
The cable is uni-directional in physical connection only, digital cables inherently talk in both directions and that is not a factor in ARC performance.
Thank you for asking.

The picture is still crystal clear despite this but I have the annoying sparkles on the screen. I bought this cable to do 100ft run from my AV media rack to a new LG OLED TV. I have an Apple TV 4K connected to a new 4K Yamaha receiver TSR-7850 (Dolby vision capable) via another monoprice 3ft 4k 18GB cable, and then the slimrun 100ft to the TV.

Are these cables hybrid (fiber for signal and copper for power) or completely fiber? I need completely fiber for galvanic isolation.

BEST ANSWER: I'm not sure, I believe they are just fiber. I have used them in areas where we were experiencing drop outs from rf / power interference. These fixed the problem.

What is the cable diameter for both CMP or VW-1?

on Aug 5, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi Paul,
They are pretty thin. The CMP is more of a flat cable, probably 0.25 inch wide and 0.125 thick/height. I cant remember the VW-1 but I'm pretty sure that it is about the same. The heads are not detachable and are about 1 inch wide.

Does this work with any monoprice switches - if I just want to run one cable through my conduit and toggle between using it for a cable box vs. 4k blu ray player?

As long as the cable is being used on the output of the switch there would not be a problem.

Is there a displayport adapter that will work with this cable? We found that the connection was very unreliable with a displayport (tried several) adapter. I assume this is either due to a voltage drop because of extra equipment in the line or because the adapter does not pass the 5Vs from the HDMI port (although Monoprice's staff said that power comes from the display).

Expensive but works great!
Works great so far - 1440p at 120hz no problem. Hoping it lasts as I’ve run it through my walls and it would not be fun to A. Pay for another and B. run another cable.
This was definitely the most I’ve ever spent on a cable but it meets the requirements so I guess there’s that.

And that is in a PERFECT WORLD ..

It just works
Using this to switch between a cablebox stored in a basement as well as a PC. No issues feeling the 1080P Altice Cablebox, to my 4K OLED, in addition to running the PC at native 4K. The PC itself is about 5 years old and therefore only capable of 4K @ 30fps, but I'm certain the cable would facilitate higher.

Easy to install with superior picture quality!
This cable replaced a 10-year-old cable that was almost a half an inch in diameter. This was so much easier to install for both its flexibility and ease of bending the cables to insert into the devices. The picture quality is undoubtedly superior even though none of the equipment was it self changed. I will recommend it highly.

Super responsive. No delay!
Super thin cable. The only issue I had was it came a little bent. I plugged it in and it worked fine so I went ahead with the install as I was on a timeline. Used it with a PlayStation to test for delay. No delay due to cable restrictions, delay was only cause by the TV.

Excellent projector cable.
It flawlessly feeds a Sony home theater projector. My only fear during the installation was kinking (and possible ruining) the cable. It took some light abuse and came out working just fine.
